Get ready, Star Wars fans! EA's highly anticipated turn-based tactics game set in the iconic Star Wars universe is gearing up for its grand reveal at Star Wars Celebration 2025. Announced back in early 2022, this untitled strategy game is being crafted by Bit Reactor, a studio brimming with talent from Firaxis Games, the masterminds behind the beloved XCOM series. Bit Reactor has been collaborating closely with Respawn Entertainment, the creators of the Star Wars Jedi series, to bring this new project to life, and they're ready to showcase their work to the world.
Mark your calendars for April 19, when the game will be unveiled during a live panel featuring the lead development team from Bit Reactor, alongside representatives from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. This event is scheduled as part of the official Star Wars Celebration 2025 lineup, promising fans an exciting first look at what's to come.

While details about the game remain under wraps, including the specific Star Wars era it will explore and the precise mechanics of its gameplay, the involvement of former XCOM developers hints at a strategic experience infused with the rich tapestry of the Star Wars universe. Fans can only speculate on what thrilling tactical adventures await.
Meanwhile, Respawn Entertainment continues to develop the third installment in its acclaimed Star Wars Jedi series, though there's no word yet on whether it will make an appearance at this year's Star Wars Celebration. It's worth noting that Respawn had been working on another Star Wars project—a first-person shooter rumored to feature a Mandalorian protagonist. Unfortunately, this game was canceled amid a significant restructuring at EA, which also saw the termination of a multiplayer first-person shooter project and resulted in the loss of around 670 jobs.
At Star Wars Celebration, fans can also look forward to exclusive sneak peeks of other exciting projects, including the upcoming movie "The Mandalorian & Grogu," set to hit theaters in May 2026, and the eagerly awaited "Star Wars: Visions Volume 3."
